Dropped to just under a pound here, 99.9 as Mrs sworks drove passed. This is the time I should be out in the classic cooper S at around 19mpg if driven enthusiastically...

Perhaps you would like to know that China is stockpiling oil by the tanker full. Waiting to make a few quid when we all go back to normal. My son told me that oil companies are laying drivers off. Good old China. They think they are going to take over the world. We have to start becoming more reliant on ourselves. But of course, the billionaires want to own the world so there is not much chance of that happening, unless we start buying our own products even if they do cost more money. At least the parts made might be better products and last longer than six months.

The fuel oil for our central heating had run out so I needed to fill the tank; just in case.-----My better half is ALWAYS cold.
Was very pleased and shocked to find there was a 20% drop in price.--- |

Same over here in Western Australia, very cheap fuel prices, talk of fuel companies shutting some of their fuel stations down as there not making any profit.
